Hello! I'm new!

Patrick Krispin

I'm a new user of Confluence and we are using the capabilities Confluence and Jira provide to push out new cloud CRM project forward. I'm most interested developing a series of confluence pages to host all our project documentation as we develop it further. I have found a lot of the capabilities extremely helpful, like linking product requirement templates with issues from Jira.

Looking forward to continuing to learn and help our organization with the new platform.

Hi, @Patrick Krispin . Welcome! I've been using Confluence for about a year and a half. You probably already figured out how to use a macro to add a link to a Jira issue on a Confluence page, but do you know the shortcut to access the macros? Within a Confluence page, type a { character, then type "jira" and hit Enter. From there, type in the key for the issue you want to link. I really like linking Jira issues to Confluence pages, because the links update dynamically, showing you the issue key (as a link), the issue summary, and the issue status. For issues marked completed/done, the issue key displays as struck through.

The one thing I wish Confluence did by default when displaying a page with Jira links is that when you click on a link, it should ideally open a new tab to display the Jira issue instead of navigating to the issue in the current tab. To work around that, I right-click on the link and choose "Open link in new tab".

I hope this helps.

Thank you Andy!

Hey Mark! Thanks for the tip? I have seen the shortcut access to the macros as '/' and not '{' as mentioned in your above comment. Am I missing something here? The forward slash allows tons of functionality which is super helpful. Might've been a typo.

I do agree with the navigation preference you have. Thanks!

Curious. I'm using Confluence Server. (We're self-hosted). We're also on an older version, so perhaps Atlassian changed this?

When I type a forward slash in Confluence, it types a forward slash, and that's it. The open French brace character triggers the macros menu for me:
